were OF so grave nature that he
proposed to give the next Grand
jury special charge concerning
them and have them make full in
vestigation. The matters referred
to are an offer on the part of some
of the witnesses to testify in cer-
tain manner for sum of money
greater than the legal fees, and
which facts, or something like them
was testified to by one Of the attor-
neys in the case.
The judge is right. Let the
Grand Jury make full investiga-
ton of every one concerned, wit
nesses, attorneys and parties con-
cerned and if it is found that any
one is guilty of perjury or suborna-
ton of perjury, give them the ben
eft of the extreme sentence of the
law. 1t is right for the Court to
spare no effort to keep pure the
channels of Justice.

An Over Dose of Morphine
Taken by Mistake.

During a great portion of last
weekiNathan II. Barnes, one of our
oldest and most respected citizens,
was so tortured by pains as to be
unable to obtain sleep. On Friday
evening in order to allay the pain,
he sent to the drug store and pro-
cured ten cents worth of morphine
afterward ascertained to be eight
grains. The bulk appeared to him
so small that he took the whole at
one dose and retired. He soon fell
into heavy sleep, and remained
so until some time Saturday morn
ing before any attempts were made
to arouse him, his aged wife not
apprehending any danger. When
however she tried to wake him and
failed, she sent for physician, but
all effort was unavailing, the dead
ly drug had produced perfect coma.
He died Sunday morning. He had
often before used morphine to al
lay pain and was evidently deceiv-
ed as to the quantity taken,
His funeral occurred from the M.
r. Church, on Tuesday and was
largely attended.

A Plain Confession.

The House Committee on PEN
sions sustained it's report in over
riding the Presidents veto of the
Dependent Pension Bill with this
cynical and shameless reasoning:
"If it should happen that the cost
should be largely increased bv the
addition to the Of many more than
was estimated, the country is well
able to care for them. The system
of taxation which has existed since
the war and achich Congress has
manifested no disposition TO inter-
.fere 'oith, produces a revenue far
beyond that which is necessary to
carry on the Government economic
ally administered. This surplus is
constantly on the increase, and is a
temptation for epery kind of device
to again get 10 into circulation
among the people. This Committee
has nothing to say as to the ilnme-
diate necessity for fortifying our
harbors and coasts, nor as to the
of expenditure requisite for
such an undertaking, nor have they
any special fault to find with the

WHILE there is much-yery
much in President Clevelands adj
lministration that meets our hearty
approval, there is nothing that has
pleased us more than the appoint
ment of Hon. w. w. Armstrong as
Postmaster at the city of Cleve-
land. BY long, vigorous and faith
full service as editor of the Seneca
Advertiser and the Cleveland Plain
Dealer Mr.. Armstrong fairly won
this recognition. He made good
Secretary of State some years ago,
and this fact justifies us in saying
that he will make good Postmas-
ter, too. We congratulate both
the President and Mr.. Armstrong.

THE attention of the village
council and Board of Health is now
called to the swamps and obstruct-
ed drains in Macarthur. There is
no question but that the fevers of
Macarthur are caused by the filth
which is allowed to accumulate in
the drains, bitches and swamps,
almost in the centre of the town.

Below we give an extract from
the same paper showing what a
driveling idiot the once brilliant
editor of the Record has become
from the effects of the above indi-
Gated poisonous cess-pools:
Grover Cleveland has the brass
to say that the soldiers were well
paid for their services in the army
when he knows that the party that
now supports him reduced the val
NE of the dollar that was paid the
soldier to THIRTY-FIVE CENTS,
and instead of the soldier getting
$l3. or Y16 per month, he only re-
ceived $4.55 or $500 per month.
Doesn't it sound nice for the chief

fought to maintain the government
had been well paid for their service

erection of public buildings when
ever the public convenience re-
quires them, nor yet do they criti-
else the large amounts annually ex-
pended in the Improvement of the
rivers and harbors of the country.
But 1t is patent fact that no such
schemes Uould be entertained in
many instances, nor such large
amounts expended in these direc-
tions, ,cere it not for the large and
constantly Increasing surplus in the
Treasury surplus which there will
be no way of returning to circula-
ton among the people after thepay-
ment of the three per cent. bonds,
now nearly completed, and before
the maturity of the bonds becoming
due in 1891. except by appropria-
tions for some purpose. ** Re-
ducing the whole question to one
of money expediency, it seems to
your Committee that this surplus
WiA be restored to then, in the man
proposed by this bill"
Here is a Committee not of out
siders but of Representatives in
Congress, charged with the duty of
legislating for the interests of the
people and pledged by their parties
to reduce unnecessary and hence
unjust war taxes, coolly declaring
that as "Congress has manifested
no disposition to interfere" with
these taxes, the only thing to be con-
sidered how best to spend the sur
plus! They admit that this sur
plus is ga standing temptation for
every kind of device" to get the ex-
cess again into circulation, and that
none of these eXtravagant schemes
"would be entertained" nor such
large amounts expended "were it
not for the large and constantly
increasing surplus in the Treasury"
And yet with no rebuke for this
Indifference to duty of the body of
which they are members, and no
apparent consciousness of the
wrong that Congress is doing the
people in maintaining needless
war taxes as standing tempta-
tion" to extravaganza, the thirteen
committeeman unite in recomend-
ing their plan as "the best" for scat
tering the surplus.
1t is hard to say whether imbe-
cilitY or hardened indifference to
public duty is the predominant
characteristic of such report. Ger
tainly such a "lame and impotent
conclusion" was never before reach
ed in legislative body laying
claims to intelligence and patriot
ism.
The country sees, if Congress
does not, that the only way to re-
move this standing temptation
for every kind of device" for squan-
dering money is to defeat the de-
vices-not yield to them. With
$4O,00O,0O0 to $50,000,00O added to
the yearly pension list, there can
be no appreciable relief from the
war taxes for twenty years to come.
The place for the surplus is in the
pockets of the people that supply it
If it is left with them it will not
need to be "restored to the people"
through the unnatural and demora-
lizing medium of unprecedented
pensions, or by means of any other
jobs or devices.
The Presidents veto should be
sustained, the money-squandering
jobs should all be defeated, and the
taxes should then be reduced.

Sustain the Veto.

Just now the papers are full of
opiniens of ex-soldiers, and others,
some of them sustaining the Pres
ident and some filed with the
most bitter denunciation of the We
to, as violent wrong to those who
imperilled their lives for the de-
fense of the government.
The claim of those who denounce
the veto may be classed under
three heads, viz: "They are poor;
There is large surplus in the
Treasury; They having fought for
the Government in time'of war, it
should support them in time of
peace"
Let us candidly give these rea-
sons our attentions:
Q.) In regard to the poverty, we
sympathize with that, wherever it
exists, and especially among those
who periled their lives for their
country. But it is not the function
of the General Government to re-
lieve poverty, Unless the poverty
or the cause producing it are the
result of their war service. The
100000 soldiers now on the pension
list had q claim on the nation, by
reason of wounds received or disa-
bility incurred in it's service. TO
pension men for poverty is to de-
grade the list, to offer a reward for
mere poverty and to put premi-
um on pauperism. We will favor
any reasonable provision to multi
ply the Soldiers Homes and liber-
alize the conditions of entrance, to
the end that all really helpless and
dependent veterans may be admit
ted and cared for, but to pension
men indiscriminately for "inability
to earn support" is as wrong in
principle as it would be disaster
Gus in practice.
(2.) In regard to the surplus, it
only represents an amount of mon
ey gathered from the people by ex-
cessive taxation, and will cease to
exist whenever Congress is elect
ed that has an honest dispositions
to do justice to and by the whole
people.
1T acould be a crime against the
nation to perpetuate ercessire acar
tares for thirty gears because Con-
gress has neglected its duty to re-
duce the surplus this gear.
(3.) 1t is che highest duty of every
American citizen to defend his
country. Every American citizen
owes to his government, and to the
free institutions maintained under
it, more than the Government can
ever owe to him. The soldiers
fought for their own stake in the
Union as we'll as for others. Nor,
indispensable, brave and selfsacri-
ficing as they were, did they alone
save the Union. Without war tax
es and money by the hundred mill
ions the war would have collapsed
in six months. And the taxpayers
who have already paid $s0S, 900, 900
in pensions, pledged themselves
for $S0,OOO,0O0 year more on the
same account and faced a debt of
$2,776, ,546,06S which they have re-
duced one-half in twenty years
are also entitled to some consider
alton.
We believe that the soldiers who
oppose the Dependent bill are serv-
ing their country as truly as when
they fought for it, and that it is the
duty of Congress to sustain them in
maintaining the honor of the PEN
sion roll, and the Presidents veto.
